The easiest and cheapest way is to change the propeller. Well, cheaper than a trolling motor anyway. You need to go down in pitch probably 2-4" maybe more. You will have to experiment some. I would just get a cheap aluminum prop. It takes all of 5 mins to change when on the trailer. Just be careful getting on plane because you will rev the engine right to the rev limiter....

You can also try using 5 gallon pails tied to the back of the boat, but I haven't found this too successful.
